At the beginning of Inferno, Dante finds himself lost and frightened in a dark wood. A divine woman, Dante’s beloved Beatrice, notices him and sends Virgil to guide him. Their journey will take them through the circles of Hell and that they will eventually reach Heaven. The dark wood is an allegory. It symbolizes man’s straying from the virtue. Dante appears to have abandoned the rightful and straight path of moral truth. That’s why he gets lost in the dark wood at the first place.
